Session problem with Keyboard shortcuts.

[ilzu]

I have ssh-agent running in UserSetupEnvironment and I have shortcut to open QuickLaunch. When opening an app through Quicklaunch opened by shortcut, it has different SSH_AGENT_PID for ssh-agent, so it doesn't have same ssh keys authenticated as the apps opened from Tracker or Deskbar. The other environment variables are correct.

One terminal opened from Deskbar, another via Quicklaunch from a shortcut

Same problem here when using git+ssh from Genio. Basically this makes ssh_agent almost unusable on Haiku.

If I start Genio from the Terminal where I used ssh-add, I can connect to my git repos, otherwise it doesn't detect the added key.

I'd change the issue description since it's not very clear: The problem isn't limited to the keyboard shortcut, but also applications launched by Tracker have this issue.

By the way, is there an "official" way to start ssh_agent in Haiku ? It seems it's launched automatically every time I start the first Terminal, but I can't find where.

I use ​keychain to manage the ssh-agent process. The package should be set up to run automatically for shells but I have changed the UserSetupEnvironment script in order to be available to apps launched via Tracker. With this in place, I can launch KeePassXC using QuickLaunch and then KeePassXC will insert ssh keys from my database into the ssh-agent. From there I can user other apps which need the keys, such as GittyUp.

From my ~/config/settings/boot/UserSetupEnvironment ...

[[ -s /system/data/profile.d/keychain.sh ]] && \
	source /system/data/profile.d/keychain.sh

Thanks! That doesn't seem to fix the issue reported on comment 3, though.

Just for the record:

~> env | grep SSH | sort
SSH_AGENT_PID=177
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-yk6yQDeA8NgJ/agent.176

but if I use getenv() from Genio, I get this:

char* auth = getenv("SSH_AUTH_SOCK");
char* pid = getenv("SSH_AGENT_PID");
char *path = getenv("PATH");
LogError("auth: %s", auth);
LogError("pid: %s", pid);
LogError("path: %s", path);

USER: Genio: {E} auth: (null)
USER: Genio: {E} pid: (null)
USER: Genio: {E} path: .:/boot/home/config/non-packaged/bin:/boot/home/config/bin:/boot/system/non-packaged/bin:/bin:/boot/system/apps:/boot/system/preferences

So these SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID are not exported into other apps environment ?

These are the results when launching from Terminal, instead:

USER: Genio: {E} auth: /tmp/ssh-yk6yQDeA8NgJ/agent.176
USER: Genio: {E} pid: 177
USER: Genio: {E} path: .:/boot/home/config/non-packaged/bin:/boot/home/config/bin:/boot/system/non-packaged/bin:/bin:/boot/system/apps:/boot/system/preferences
